I spent another day at home! :D Yep, getting tooo easy to stay home. Computer called in "sick" Sunday job and moved all today jobs to later in week. :celebrate Two days here.

SO -- me & tractor did some barn repairs that had never been worked from a storm & rain & another storm. More to do but, I feel better about it now. Got feed when I went for a couple big boards this AM (for the repairs). Went to neighbor next door and dug two trenches about 20' long for them, while I had the backhoe on the rig. Then home -- milked, closed coops and came in to shower.

Let me tell you, that was a dirty wash cloth when I was done. I must have come out 3 shades lighter! But, I have been playing in the dirt & such all day. Got a lot done, so worth it and I truly enjoyed it! :D =D Yeah, retirement -- here I come!! :lol:

PLUS, I have been thinking I needed some dirt in a few places and hated the thought of buying bagged dirt. (Yes, 14 acres & "buying" dirt...don't want a big hole) But, here I am in this big old run-in (24X36) and kicking around this fully composted black gold!! There was my dirt. :th I need to take about 5 inches out while it's dry weather....guess it will be more than what I need for the "fill spots". :D $$$ saved. The bedding from winter has fully decomposed, along with the manure. I'm good with it all. New shavings after that, costs less than buying dirt.

Playtime over -- back to work tomorrow. :( Shame really, as I'm wanting to move the new dirt. :D Maybe I will get home early!

They make it look easy on EVERY internet video and web site I’ve seen. “Just put the doe in with buck, and they’ll do the business quick and easy” Lies all Lies :lol::lol:
How old are the does and could they be too fat? if they have too much internal fat, they won't breed. So if you are fixing up that romantic dinner, be sure and go KETO diet. :)
